  • A 5-Day Andalusian Road Trip: Málaga, Gibraltar, Utrera, Sevilla & Setenil 

    There are trips you plan for months, and then there are the ones that simply happen; messy, sun-soaked, full of surprises, and somehow more perfect because of it. This little adventure across Andalucía was exactly that. Five days, five completely different places, three hotels that couldn’t be more unlike each other, and thousands of steps that my legs still remember…

  • Exploring Girona in 24h: A Perfect Spanish Getaway

    When you casually filter the flights and see Girona for £30 return, it’s impossible not to book it. So I did, but then expenses started to grow. With my partner joining the trip, we had to book parking and accommodation. Before I knew it, we’d spent £200 without even leaving our bedroom. At least we…

  • A Weekend to Remember: Celebrating Family and Heritage in Gdansk

    As someone who calls Gdansk home, albeit from a distance, returning always feels like a reconnection with my roots. It’s a city that doesn’t see me as often as it should, but this particular visit was marked by an occasion too special to miss: my father’s 77th birthday. This wasn’t just any trip; it was…
